Trading n-Bar Declines
The example above illustrates an n-Bar Decline pattern from the Russell 2000 Emini chart.
On May 10, 2007, ER2 sold off in the pre-afternoon session and started to make new lows
around 12pm. Six new lows bars were traded before a reversal bar triggered a trad above the
previous bar's high. This scenario presented a trade long in the downtrend.
1. Enter a “long” trade one tick above the previous bar's high at 822.7.
2. Place a “stop” order below the low of the n-Bar decline at 821.6.
3. Target between 62% and 100% of the n-Bar decline range from 824.8 to 826.
